Service in the Rain!!

 Hello everyone!!

A lot of fun things have been going on which is so great! Went to the temple, had some great lessons with Johan (guy from last email), got my Trainee, service, fun P-days!!

I'll start with my trainee Sister Da Silva! She came last Wednesday, she is from Brazil but has lived in Grand Prairie, AB, for the last 3 years so her english is pretty good. She is so funny and makes me laugh all the time! It has been so interesting trying to help someone else learn how to do missionary work while I feel like im still learning, but im growing so much as a person and as a servant of the lord.

Johan!! Last email I was able to meet with Johan and since then we have been able to have a few lessons with him and they were so good. He has such genuine questions, and understanding the Plan of Salvation has been so important for him! He is trying to keep our commitments and we are really going to try to help him be baptized this next month, please pray for him!!

On saturday we had a service project where we had to clean the Churchville Cemetery! What I didnt know is that the church actually has some cool history here in Toronto! Basically Canada is the first country outside of America to recieve the restored Gospel! If I remember the story that the old lady at the cemetery told us correctly, Joseph Smith visited the people in the Town of Churchville and HALF of the town was converted and left to travel to Utah to gather with the Saints! Most of the members who passed away were then buried at the Churchville Cemetery. It was pretty cool to learn that. But it was ABSOLUTELY FREEZING AND RAINING SO MUCH, but it was fun to be out serving with all the Missionaries. (Lots of pics and videos on my Google album😆)

I love you all so much! Jesus is the way and he really does live and love each one of us!

 Hi Everyone!!! I am so dearly sorry for not emailing you all I know you're just dying to hear how I am doing! Lol. So here you go, I am doing so good!! Im not even lying, I love it here with my whole heart. I love teaching people, finding people, and I love the members. AND to top it all off, it's getting SO WARM!! I could cry it brings me so much joy, we went on a run yesterday morning and I seriously have never felt more happy in my life, I could have ran for the whole day.  Alright, so we have 3 friends on date! Joel, Nick, and Tristan! I met Joel last transfer with Sister Bingham in a library, we met Nick last week and put him on date our first lesson, hes so awesome. Tristan I met at Kipling station. I hope they all keep progressing and be baptized in the next couple weeks!  Something that has been super cool is that right now we are teaching so many people from different christian backgrounds! We have a few catholic friends, orthodox, and some very devout non-denom...

Exchanges😋

 Hello again, I feel like im emailing you guys everyday, P-day just keeps coming up faster and faster. But it's good im excited to update y'all on everything.  This week was so good we now have 4 friends on date! They are all amazing and have strengthened my testimony of this gospel so so much. I'm so excited for them! Monday to Tuesday I exchanged with our STLs. I was with Sister Johnson!! I love her she's awesome and such a diligent missionary I learned so much from her. We taught one of our friends about the 10 commandments and when we said thou shall not Kill, he said we shouldn't kill with knife, but in Nigeria, we kill with gun... Yeah that was crazy so we had to make sure he knew any killing is against the commandments🤣 then we had FHE and we played telestrations! It was fun but it's definitely more fun with my family. And yesterday we got WingStop! Idk if you guys have ever tried it... but it is literally the best chicken tenders ive ever had. I got the...

Farewell and Setting Apart

 Shelby was so nervous to give her talk, but she did amazing! Her testimony is powerful. She talked of building a relationship with Jesus Christ. Her testimony of serving in the temple was sincere and strong. It was an amazing talk, as if she has already gone and served! The Dean girls; Mom, Emily, Ellee, Hailey and Aubrey sang the song Because, by Shawna Edwards. It was a beautiful song that added the spirit to the meeting. Finally, President Lootens spoke, and he told of how much he loves Shelby and the Dean family. It was a nice tribute. We had an open house here at our home, where wonderful friends and family came: The Lee's, Grandma and Grandpa Martin, Jordan, The Hubbards, The Walkers,  The Waltons, The Rodriguezs, The Ackroyds, Sebastian Badara, Karam, and Sarah Pender. We ate Ham sliders and 6 different salads and desserts. After the opening house, we made our way to the stake center where Shelbys was set apart as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-d...
